Though initial 9-1-1 callers described an "explosive fire" they believed to have involved a "battery" within the automotive parts store, the specific cause of the fire remains the focus of an active Fire Department investigation. #LATraffic: Full closure of northbound and southbound Highland Avenue between DeLongpre Avenue and Lexington Avenue, as well as a full closure of eastbound and westbound Fountain Avenue at Highland Avenue will continue until LAFD operations are complete.
